In one embodiment, a microphone system capable of detecting three-dimensional sound is provided. The microphone system comprises an elliptical-shaped microphone enhancer having at least two reflectors located different distances apart from a microphone located in the center of the ellipse. The reflectors have asymmetric ridges which cause interference patterns in the signals received by the microphone, conceptually analogous to the patterns generated by the pinnae of the human ear.

Abstract: A method is presented for demodulating and decoding a block of received digital information consisting of a number of subblocks. One of a predefined number of demodulation methods is selected for demodulating each subblock and each subblock is demodulated with the demodulation method selected for it. The subblocks constituting a block of digital information are combined between their demodulation and the decoding of the block of digital information. Soft decoding is used to decode the block of digital information, wherein each subblock is converted to a sequence of soft decoding values associated with certain probabilities of allowed state transitions in the decoding process. For each subblock it is determined, after its demodulation, whether the correct demodulation method was selected for it. A subblock for which it is found that the correct demodulation method was not selected is converted to a sequence of neutral soft decoding values indicating equal probabilities for all allowed state transitions in the decoding process.
